Laser safety

WARNING

Adjustments, use of controls, or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous

light exposure.

The Xerox DocuPrint printers are certified to comply with the

performance standards of the U.S. Department of Health,

Education, and Welfare for Class 1 laser products. Class 1 laser

products do not emit hazardous radiation. The DocuPrint printers

do not emit hazardous radiation because the laser beam is

completely enclosed during all modes of customer operation.

The laser danger labels on the system are for Xerox service

representatives and are on or near panels or shields that must

be removed with a tool.

DO NOT REMOVE LABELED PANELS OR PANELS NEAR

LABELS. ONLY XEROX SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE

ACCESS TO THESE PANELS.

x Installation Planning Guide

Ozone information: U. S. only

This product produces ozone during normal operation. The

amount of ozone produced depends on copy volume. Ozone is

heavier than air. The environmental parameters specified in the

Xerox installation instructions ensure that concentration levels

are within safe limits. If you need additional information

concerning ozone, call 1-800-828-6571 to request the Xerox

publication 600P83222, OZONE.

Operation safety: U. S.

Your Xerox equipment and supplies have been designed and

tested to meet strict safety requirements. They have been

approved by safety agencies, and they comply with

environmental standards. Please observe the following

precautions to ensure your continued safety.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor

may result in risk of electrical shock.

• Always connect equipment to a properly grounded electrical

outlet. If in doubt, have the outlet checked by a qualified

electrician.

• Never use a ground adapter plug to connect equipment to an

electrical outlet that lacks a ground connection terminal.

• Always place equipment on a solid support surface with

adequate strength for its weight.

• Always use materials and supplies specifically designed for

your Xerox equipment. Use of unsuitable materials may result

in poor performance and may create a hazardous situation.

• Never move either the printer or the printer controller without

first contacting Xerox for approval.

• Never attempt any maintenance that is not specifically

described in this documentation.

• Never remove any covers or guards that are fastened with

screws. There are no operator-serviceable areas within these

covers.

• Never override electrical or mechanical interlocks.

Installation Planning Guide xi

• Never use supplies or cleaning materials for other than their

intended purposes. Keep all materials out of the reach of

children.

• Never operate the equipment if you notice unusual noises or

odors. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet

and call service to correct the problem.

If you need any additional safety information concerning the

equipment or materials Xerox supplies, call Xerox Product Safety

at the following toll-free number in the United States:

1-800-828-6571

For customers outside the United States, contact your local

Xerox representative or operating company.

Operation safety: Europe

This Xerox product and supplies are manufactured, tested and

certified to strict safety regulations, electromagnetic regulations
